The above question was posed ta the cdi- tor the ocher day by a banker w-ohaes seen service in branch benks across Canada. Ie was refcrring particularly ta conimunities thet are served by wcekly newspapcrs. Pros- pcnity, as lie visioned it, wes not so, mucli a matter of wealtl inl moilcy. Rather it was the rounded contentment of ail the people. -- A prospérons cammunity is anc wlierein the people cooperate and where ail, if esked, wonld say they would not cane ta live cIsc- wlierc. In sucli e cammunity, therefore, far off hills do not look green. Thene are fia hüle greenen than those oven which, as *~childnen, the grawn-ups and even' the agcd, uscd ta oain. and play. * What inakes a commilnity prospenous je not measurcd .by the few who become wcalthy and those who go out into the wold from ferme to achieve fame and make their birthplece widely kaown. Prosperity fat evcny carnmunity consists la content- ment, not wealth and case and the luxuries of city life. And'cantentmcnt dérives large- iy from a spirit of coopération. There is more talk toay about coopéretion than ever before. Ia years gone by the word was not even stncssed, and yet lnaelmost cvery coin- m.unty, coopération unconsciously practis- cd, brouglit prosperity and uaity and con- tentmcnt. The fast pace of today lias des- troyed this ta a certain extent. The close- -' kait cammunity of the chuncli ad sehool and home, of "vieitiag" amang ladges lies gone wth the automobile. Z KThe leading town in cvcry cammunity used ta be foremost la kceping alive the in- terets and contacte of the country people * who, in tura, made the tawn prasperous. Mendiants who adventised la tic home-town papen, just whet tiey lied in tic way af bangains and necessities fan thein fariner friende, contributcd ta thé geenel prosper- ity and made tic town a meeting place; a *community fraternal-cincle on Saturdays. Those were tic aid days, tic deys of genuine prosperity. Turnes have clianged. Today there is an 'indifféence emang many merchants, as ta ;~the neede and welfare of their conmunity. They do nat advcrtise in any way ta invite businéss ta thein town, and tins serve notice of their indifférence ta tic country trede. Thet attitude, whiel is en of nan-coopera- ~<tion, will destroy the cohesion and prasper- ity of eny camminity. Praspenity le a mat- ter of cammnnity marais.

HeIp Betttr Farming Conditions The Canadian Ohaniber of Commerce re- cently conluded its annual session at the ~. swank and exclusive Seigniory Club, which r~is located near the Ottawa river, halfway be- tween Montreal and Ottawa. It is also the rendezvous of the Manufacturers Associa- tion meetings. Its register would reveal names of Canadians, which, considered in ~ , the Iight of wealth and finance, miglit be termed the Burke 's Peerage of Canada. It S is doubtful if a "dirt farmer" ever got past S its portais. And yet a"farmer of Manitoba was chosen President of the C. of C. for 1941- 42. His îiame is Hon. D. G. MeKenzie, for Syears identified with provincial politics and United Grain Growers. For years, too, Mr. S McKenzie lias been interested in researchi f which would, through science, develop mar- kets for farm produce through Canadian. in- dustrial channele. aId this apparent recognition of farmers -adfarm problems is a genuine move to for- ward and implement wvhat lias been discov- Sered in the field of Chemurgy, then we înay say that at last we are to get somewhere for Sit ia a vast and important field.

Despite better prices for* farni produce, Swhich has brought no improvement in pros- perity, there ie stili too much uncertainty ail across this country among the farming *population due and ini a large extent to lack of government leadership in formulating a far-sighted and sane farmn policy by the Fed- * ral Department of Agriculture.

Mr. Haskell warned againet higli pressure tactics and fly-by-night echemes rangii:g froi'-m.ythical "farewell dances" to "suit- ably framed " photo enlargements of sol- diers,.sailors and airm.en. "When kind-hearted people get together in an honest endeavour to raise money for a worthy cause, the ever versatile wartine racketeer follows the beaten track and copies the activities of every honest wartimé charity organization in an effort to line his own pocket," eaid Mr. Haskell. The speaker pointed out that despite the existence of the War Charities Act, undeî- which ail charitable organizatione muet register, cases of racketeering have corne to the notice of the Better Business Bureau. In ail instances the Bureau lias been instru- mental in exposing them. Chain letters, letter-writing clubs, certifi- cates of service in the war and similar echemes vuinerable ta activity by racketeers were mentioned by Mr. Haskell who, in clos- ing, ieft with hie listeners the slogan, "Be- fore you give-get the facts."

Ian Mackenzie, Minister of Pension and National Heelth, lias just ncleased thE terme of an Orden-in-Council euthorizingï programme of rehebilitation for those whc served and survived this war. It je the resuli of long study by e committee and sub-com. mittees authorized by parliainent. The basiç of the echeme is to prevent hardship. ThE idea ie ta re-absorb the fit inta civil life aç smoothly and efficiently as thougli they hed neyer been away. Sa fer as those re turning ta industry is concerned. the terme are unique and comprehensive. In arder to meet their case the goveru- ment iili pay into the Unemploymcnt In- surance Act funci, emounts which will place every lest man on a footing precisely the same as thet if lielied staycd at home. hene will be living allowances for those who wisl to take vocetionel training pnior ta resum- ing work. Thiere will be complete cane of those in iii liealth, those who have been wauadcd and shettered. And there wil liie assistance of came sort for thase who return to pivete enterpnise, sueli as farrning. Those who retura ta the land may receive essist- -ance until crope arc h a r v es ted, but there are fia stated emounts. Genenal ai- lowances outeide the lasurance Act, will be $9.00 a week fan single mcn; $13.00 a weeh: for those with dependants. The Minister made it clear that further studies wauld be made. He said: "This is only part of what I hope to bc a mare com- -preliensive echeme which will extend in other directions." Ail of which may be e forecast of far-reaching social change. The present plan applies toalal who have been disclierged froni the varions services after July 1, 1941, the date of the Insurence Act. With ail of the mistakes and shontcominge of the lest war as a guide, and with the pro- bability of a long drawn ont prescat con- flict, there is fia doubt that a really enliglit- ened plan of reliabilitation will finelly en- sue. Indeed this firet draft is e credit ta the Miaister and the gaverament and its menit is enhanced by the fact of its promp- titude.

It is bad enough to think of boys in the years ta come look-, eing, back to the time when theif beautiful training schooi was the home of prisoners of thc wanid's most despicable human race, mca whoee oaly clem ta distinction rested on ruthcess brutality. We doubt that thc schoal, will ever lie cleansed of the association andi attamn again an atmosphere of in- spiration. But when it is thc kaown policy of these prisoners ta seek freedom at any risk and arm, themacives with such weapons as they cen get, as they did in Northern On- tario, to blucigeon their way ta safety, the wisdom of placing them in a settled, civilizeci com- munit3' close to important higli- ways and an international water- way certainly is open to question. The purpose, af course, is ta en-' sure reciprocal improvement in the accommodation af Canadian and British war prisaners in Ger- many. These matters arc subject to international convention, which lu most respects, Uic Nazis ignore. The Canadiari Goverament may have information ta show Uiat treating German officers like gucets af honor brings similar courtesies for Britishers lu Uie Reichi.
